Half-wing moth caterpillar (Phigalia titea), #6658

Reveler Conservation Area

I love the way these small caterpillars loop along, which gives rise to two other names for them, loopers and inchworms.

Made me think of the song "Inchworm". Cute.

A fabulous capture of the looping! v

They are kind of cute close up! Not so cute when the loopers munch on my kale! V

I know the song but didn't know to what the word inchworm referred.
This is so detailed, a great image.

Great find and excellent sharp macro image Christine.

Fascinating capture Christine! I wondered if this was inchworm but I'm confused. I've seen green "inchworms"; didn't know they could be brown. V

At home in its own little wilderness.

Good clear shot of the inch worm. A unique method of locomotion, V

This would have worked so well for the Lyrics Challenge, Danny Kaye's Inchworm song from Hans Christian Andersen :))
